Cruel Guards - The Panics

I see you in the papers through a foggy lens,

waving with a fist, my team, she always wins

He looks into your eyes like an old friend

tells you there’s a difference,

there’s us, us, us and them

It’s a cheat to make me feel happy when it’s on loan,

when you aint ever home, no you aint ever home

There is a bright, bright heat

They are the cruel, cruel guards

A most unfortunate charm

It’s always calm, it’s always calm

Right before you do me harm

I lost it once in a market queue,

dropped my bags, felt gagged and left

seeing black and blue

Found us drowned in the cobblestone

Forget your supplies

for the waters will rise on their own

It’s a cheat to make me feel happy when it’s on loan,

when you aint ever home, no you aint ever home

There is a bright, bright heat

They are the cruel, cruel guards

A most unfortunate charm

It’s always calm, it’s always calm

Right before you do me harm

It’s always calm, it’s always calm

Right before you do me harm
